Ideal Romantic partner?

[Imperial Valaran]

Ok now I'm confused why do 2 people here have red names? Site administration?

The Mods are legion.

Or worse, with talconite pellets best used for steel making than for anything else.

Taconite pellets actually sound more useful than pebbles. They may be rough and unsightly, but with proper refining, they become beautiful shining industrial steel, whereas pebbles will always stay just that.

I effective consider myself as those pellets. Pebbles may be more aesthetically pleasing, but with proper refining I become steel with a metallic shine to it.

Romance is an illusion that weakens the heart. We don't need it anymore. It leads you open to blackmail, jealousy and conflict. Don't fall in love, guys. For the good of everything rational.

Uh, please. Your reminding me of a film where this guy travels from the far future, where love has become non-existant, to the past.

Fair to assume, from your first sentence, the movie was not very good?

[Replevion]

"Modern" nothing. Teenagers have been writing bad poetry about the void where their heart once was for CENTURIES

Yeah, but they weren't so-called "red pillers".

[Shangri llama]

Oh yes is that from that movement that saw the Matrix and thought it had worthwhile social commentary?

[MERIZoC]

Not so much that, but they use a theme from the Matrix to support their unrelated viewpoint.

[Drury Lane]

The OP has weird priorities...

Might have to do with him being 15 years old.

Thats fairly intelligent and discerning for a 15 year old.
Not only did I not excercise much forethought at that age, but wasnt partcularly discriminating beyond the girls willingness. Actually spent many years trying to fix whatever crosswire made me automatically fall for any woman who showed me kindness.

For a thread about romance, the poll is missing the most important aspect: romance.

My partner, while still beautiful, smart, funny, and sexy, is above all else romantic. She loves me, which is, believe it or not, a really important factor in enjoying anything else about the relationship.

When I write poetry for her, it's always reciprocated with much intimacy and love. To write something like that, and just get a "thanks" would pretty much kill it.

And yes, although being physically intimate is enjoyable, it wouldn't mean anything to me if we weren't in love.

But to answer the OP:
the woman I'm in love with now.
15 (she's actually older than me), white, brunette, blue eyes, 5'6" or 5'7", cute freckles, beautiful body.
But that's just how she looks.
She's the most loving person I've met, and I put her before myself. She loves me, and that's all I need.

But that's just us.

[Southern Babylonia]

Red-haired, Gaelic-speaking, likes dressing up but doesn't care too much about shopping for expensive clothes, likes art and history, wants kids, doesn't want said kids to be raised in a daycare, compassionate, honest, likes folk music, likes to travel, will let our kids be as independent as they need to be.

But that, of course, is not something I expect to fully reach. Ultimately, a good romantic partner is a girl who loves my weird side and whose weird side I love.

[New Grestin]

Considering my prior experience with romance?

Someone who can make up her fucking mind about whether she wants to date or not would be nice.

Everybody goes through heartbreak, kid. This modern response of pretending you don't have need for a heart is multilaterally dehumanizing.

At risk of getting flagged up for 'flaming' or something:

First of all, please stop being so condescending, calling me 'kid'. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm older than you: like someone said earlier on, most NS users seem to be around the ages of 20-25. You never know to whom you're talking on the internet.

Second of all, I don't think humans don't need romance anymore. Please don't try to pass my opinions off as 'heartbreak'. Love is a natural human instinct, made for the sole reason to reproduce and continue the species. Do we need this anymore? No. Reproduction can happen in other, more appropriate ways: IVF. 'Love' only exists because of natural selection. On top of this, as I already said, love causes numerous social problems. I could write an entire essay on this, but I'm not going to.

Please don't jump to conclusions.

Sorry about that interruption guys, back to the thread.

I too consider you a pebble.

It isn't really valid to suggest that just because simething has its roots in our evolutionary history that it has no place in present day. Breathing also only exists because of natural selection. I do not suggest you try to live without it.

Jennifer Lawrence is literally perfect.

I don't have a single ideal, of course, but I'd be here typing all day if I started to detail.

Replevion is in her 30s now. So she quite likely is older than you. But does it really matter. I've seen people who are more mature at 13 than my 56 year old father.

You just said you thought she was perfect. Isn't she your ideal?

[Jaxukuk]

I would be.

Look, the point I was trying to make is that we're both mature adults.

I'm not saying anything else here; I'm conscious that the OP's being hijacked a bit. If anyone really wants to continue this argument for some reason, telegram me.

EDIT:

But does it really matter. I've seen people who are more mature at 13 than my 56 year old father.

My point exactly.

[Pope Joan]

My ideal partner would be one who finds me to be her ideal.

Since that is unlikely to happen, maybe we could each settle for a generally favorable impression of each other?

I'm over 30 and have several kids. The only people I've seen who've made it beyond college with your mindset have been irredeemable. As such by assuming you're young I give you the benefit of the doubt.

Love fulfills people. It's deeply enmeshed in our humanity and sense of meaning. It underpins parent-child relationships in a way that is beyond value, and can do nearly as much between adults.

It's an immense emotional risk, and now with gender dynamics in society in flux, where once that risk was mainly upon women it is now mainly upon men, and there is resentment. MGTOW/red pill crap is the manifestation of that resentment, but it's a tantrum.

Society's pendulum will swing, individuals will grow and mature, and all of this will be moot with enough time and patience.

Indeed, as Lin Yutang once recounted in My Country and My People, page 43:

There was once a prime minister, Chang Kungni, who was much envied for his earthly blessedness of having nine generations living together under the same roof. Once the emperor, Tang Kaochung, asked him the secret of his success, and the minister asked for a brush and paper, on which he wrote a hundred times the character "patience" or "endurance."

[The New Fandom Republic]

I just want someone to rock out and go on adventures with me. I want a musician who doesn't mind my half of my quirks. I want someone with a heart of topaz. Someone with integrity. Someone who would be real with me 100% no matter what and would see through my lies. That's who I think is ideal. The psychical doesn't matter except for gender.

You just said you thought she was perfect. Isn't she your ideal?

Well yeah, but I have been fortunate enough to meet girls who are like the polar opposite to JLaw who are also literally perfect.
